-- Common communication functions for network discovery tasks like
-- banner grabbing and data exchange.
--
-- The functions in this module return values appropriate for use with
-- exception handling via nmap.new_try
.
--
-- These functions may be passed a table of options, but it's not required. The
-- keys for the options table are:
-- * bytes
- minimum number of bytes to read.
-- * lines
- minimum number of lines to read.
-- * proto
- string, protocol to use. Default "tcp"
-- * timeout
- override timeout in milliseconds. This overrides all other timeout defaults, but can be overridden by specific connect and request timeouts (below)
-- * connect_timeout
- socket timeout for connection. Default: same as stdnse.get_timeout
-- * request_timeout
- additional socket timeout for requests. This is added to the connect_timeout to get a total time for a request to receive a response. Default: 6000ms
-- * recv_before
- boolean, receive data before sending first payload
--
-- If both "bytes"
and "lines"
are provided,
-- "lines"
takes precedence. If neither are given, the functions
-- read as many bytes as possible.
